The Simpson Strong-Tie ICFVL-W is the wood-ledger component of the ICFVL Ledger Connector System, engineered to solve the challenges of mounting wood ledgers to insulated concrete form (ICF) walls. Designed for use with a single 2x solid sawn lumber ledger, the ICFVL-W works in conjunction with the Simpson Strong-Tie ICFVL connector to deliver both vertical and lateral, in-plane performance. Compared to traditional anchor bolting, this system offers better on-center spacing in most cases, faster installation, and no protrusions into the wall assembly. Made from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish for lasting corrosion resistance, the ICFVL-W is manufactured in the United States and sold in a convenient 15-piece pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the ICFVL-W and the ICFVL connector?

The ICFVL-W is the wood-ledger component of the system, designed specifically for use with a solid sawn lumber 2x ledger. The ICFVL is the embedded connector that attaches to the ICF wall. The two components work together as a complete ledger connector system to mount the wood ledger to the insulated concrete form wall.

What screws are required to install the ICFVL-W, and are they included?

The ICFVL-W installs using ICF-D3.62 screws into the ledger. Each connector includes 8 ICF-D3.25 screws. The 15-piece pack therefore includes screws for all 15 connectors.

What material and finish is the ICFVL-W made from?

The ICFVL-W is made from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish for corrosion resistance.

What advantages does the ICFVL-W system offer over traditional anchor bolting?

Compared to traditional anchor bolting, the ICFVL ledger connector system offers better on-center spacing in most cases, faster installation, and no protrusions into the wall assembly. It also provides both vertical and lateral, in-plane performance.
